Practical Writing: Letter of Complaint

Writing a letter of complaint is a serious matter, which should sound much more formal than a personal letter, because it handles something that might hurt the good relations. Therefore, your letter should sound firm in giving a justified complaint while at the same time restrained and polite in using language.

Get familiar with the following example, and fill it in as a practice.                View Reference>>

Dear Mr. Philip Flood,      
We are pleased to be offered a wide selection of e-household utensils from your company. After your salesman dwelt on the usage of the burglar alarm, we chose one in good faith because we were robbed last year.

However, the burglar alarm has often activates when anyone shouts out nearby. So my grandchildren use it as their toy. Within two weeks, our neighbors visited five times and the policemen three times. Yesterday when I turned on the TV, it actually skirled again.

In view of the above-mentioned facts, we request the following:
  1) Arrange a technician for repairs at once;
  2) Change a new one if beyond repair;
  3) Change another type if due to faulty manufacture.

Kindly let us know your decision as soon as possible. Your prompt attention to this matter will be much appreciated.


Yours sincerely
Frank Hamilton
